//  A char id is a single character.
//  A word id is a string of characters with no intervening white space.

// Notes:
// 1) There is no way to give multiple <values> without an intervening character or word id.
//    A <value>  must therefore always be immediately preceded by an id.
// 2) There must never be a space between the dash(es) and the characters forming the identifier.
// 3) There must always be a space between the identifier and any subsequent <value>.
// 4) See src/mas/src/main.c for a complete example.

  // Define a parameter.
  //
  // unsigned        numId,   - Numeric id used to identify this parameter. The min. numId should be kPoBaseId.
  // const cmChar_t  charId,  - A character used to identify this parameter.
  // const cmChar_t* wordId,  - A label used to identify this parameter.
  // unsigned        flags,   - kNoPoFlags | kReqPoFl (the type flags are automatically assigned)
  // unsigned        enumId,  - non-zero value used to group enumerated parameter values  (ignored for non-enum types)
  //                 dfltVal  - The default value for this parameter.
  //                 retValPtr- Optional pointer to a variable to receive the argument value for this parameter.
  // unsigned        cnt,     - count of times this parameter may repeated or 0 for an unlimited repetitions
  // const cmChar_t* helpStr  - a textual description of this parameter
  //
  // Notes
  // 1) 'numId','charId', and 'wordId' must all be unique among all parameter definitions.  
  //    An error will be generated if they are not.
  // 2) For all parameter value types except the string type arguments are automatically parsed to the
  //    defined type. To avoid automatic parsing simply define the type as a string (using cmPgmOptInstallStr()).
  // 3) All expected parameters must be defined prior to calling cmPgmOptParse().
  // 4) One call to cmPgmOptInstallEnum() is made for each possible enumeration value - where the 'enumId' gives the value.
  //    A given set of associated enum values is grouped by giving a common 'numId'. 
  //    Include a master help string in one of the enumerated elements to give documentation 
  //    text for the entire set of values.
  //    Example:
  //     cmPgmOptInstallEnum(h,colorId,...,redId,...,"Red","Select a color"); 
  //     cmPgmOptInstallEnum(h,colorId,...,greenId,..."Green",NULL); 
  //     cmPgmOptInstallEnum(h,colorId,...,blueId,...,"Blue",NULL);   
  //
  // 5) The following id's are used for built-in actions and are therefore restricted from use by the client:
  //    a. -h --help    Print the program usage information.
  //    b. -v --version Print the program version informatoin.
  //    c. -p --parms   Print the program parameter values.
  //
  // 6) If a retValPtr is specified then *retValPtr it is assigned 'dfltVal' as part of the
  //    call to cmPgmOptInstXXX().
  // 
  // 7) The default value of 'Flag' type parameters is always zero. 
  //    If the 'char' or 'word' id of the Flag parameter appears in the
  //    actual argument list then the value of the argument is 'onValue'.
  //    Unlike other parameters Flag parameters do not initialize *regValPtr. 
  //    If the retValPtr is given and the flag is set in the arg. list then
  //    the retValPtr is set by bitwise assignment (i.e. *retValPtr |= dfltFlagValue).
  //    This allows multiple Flag parameters to use the same retValPtr and
  //    set independent bit fields in it.
